Investment Objectives

The investment objective is to provide superior capital appreciation by investing primarily in Canadian equities and equity-type securities.

Investment Strategy

The fund invests in a large portion of the assets in the shares of a "core" group of the top companies trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE), thereby providing the stability of high quality equities. This highly liquid group also provides the flexibility to quickly convert to cash when the need arises.
